I have a stirring paddle, made from stainless steel, which has a 1/4" steel
rod as a shank.  I chuck it into an electric drill. I do the mixing in a 5
gallon plastic bucket.  It takes a little time, but it goes into solution.

DEAR LIST,
	I read a post warning that the powder was hard to get into solution
and that one should use the crystals.  Here in Barbados we can only get
boric acid powder.  Please let me know if there are ways to get the powder
into solution; extreme stirring?  Heating solution?  Order of mixing?
	Thanks in advance.
		CHEERS!
